Fort Lauderdale Night Snapper
& Shark Fishing Charters
When The Reef Really Wakes Up
When the sun drops over South Florida, the reef off Fort Lauderdale comes alive. If you’re after a true “meat trip” or want to fight something that can pull drag in the dark, our night snapper and shark fishing charters are built for you.
These seasonal evening and late-night trips focus on chumming the reef, getting the snapper fired up, and taking advantage of the night bite that many daytime anglers never see.
Nighttime is prime time for snapper. Depending on conditions and season, we may target:
yellowtail snapper
mutton snapper
mangrove snapper
lane snapper
vermillion snapper
yelloweye snapper
If you’re more interested in shark fishing in Fort Lauderdale, the chum line almost always draws them in. We can target “bycatch” sharks that show up or step it up with heavier tackle and bigger baits to go after larger sharks for a serious fight.
